Texas spousal maintenance maximum calculator

The calculator converts this amount to average monthly gross income.

Use gross income as defined for Texas spousal maintenance. It can include wages and other listed income categories. It is not take-home pay.

What does this Texas calculator determine?

It calculates only the monthly amount ceiling in Texas Family Code §8.055: the lesser of $5,000 or 20% of average monthly gross income. It does not determine whether a spouse qualifies for maintenance.

Texas law calls this court-ordered support spousal maintenance. The maximum is not an expected award.
